My Age of Investment

  Chapter 260 Oil Pipe Virus

  Xia Jingxing looked at the document that Alex handed over, and explained the event clearly.

  Preliminaries, semifinals, semifinals, finals, etc., various competition systems add up to seven or eight rounds.

  The promotion criteria for each round are also explained in detail.

  If someone gets through the game and becomes the champion in the end, you need to shoot seven or eight videos.

  The entire game took a long time, a full two months.

  After reading the file, Xia Jingxing asked: "Seven or eight videos, is it too heavy for the players?"

  Alex shook his head, smiled and said, “It’s not that important. Active users of our platform upload at least one video every week.

  Our game is also formulated in accordance with this standard.

  If a person can’t even accept this, it means that he really has no time and is very busy; or he is not interested in making videos.

  Neither of these two types of people is our target group.

  A person who has no time or interest in making videos will obviously not have the motivation to become a full-time video blogger.

  The format of the competition we joined just excluded these people.

  In addition, if you want to shoot a video, if you want to be popular and loved by everyone, the shooting technique, copywriting, content, and even the appearance and body of the blogger are all important reasons.

  A video suddenly became popular. It may just be that the content is found right, which fits the user’s favorite.

  For example, the content is a hot topic, or it happens to be a piece of content that makes people laugh.

  And these, there are too many accidental factors, and they can't explain much.

  If you want to choose people with real potential, you have to accept the critical eyes of the public several times. "

  Xia Jingxing nodded, indicating that she understood.

   "Do you have any questions, please bring them up and discuss them."

  Xia Jingxing looked at the little dog and the foreign girl.

  "This first place rewards 1 million US dollars, will it be too much?"

  The foreign girl frowned. She is very aware of Facebook's financial situation.

  At the beginning of the year, when it received more than 50 million US dollars in financing, plus several million dollars in cash on the account, there was a total of 60 million US dollars on Facebook at that time.

  But as Facebook continues to expand the high school market, expand overseas markets, and the exaggerated bandwidth consumption of oil pipes, the money on Facebook's account is decreasing at a very exaggerated rate.

  Fortunately, Facebook is still selling T-shirts, and has some advertising cooperation with Amazon, Procter & Gamble, and Nike. The company has certain revenue.

  Even so, the financial situation is not optimistic. The company has only more than 40 million U.S. dollars on its accounts.

  According to the calculation of Chief Financial Officer Irving, according to the company's current development pace, if there is no increase in revenue or equity financing, at most one year, the company's funds will be exhausted.

  Alex smiled and said: "Mainly I want to throw a stunt: Do you want to be a millionaire? Come to YouTube to make a video!

  The media often use these methods to attract attention. I think we can also use them to increase some attention and stimulate more people to participate.

  Even with such a good topic, the media will definitely not miss this hot spot, and will spontaneously help us promote it.

   is equivalent to saying that one million dollars has been spent and it has won the attention of the whole society.

  Because before this, there has never been a person who has become a millionaire by taking online videos. "

  Xia Jingxing nodded, "This is a good idea. If the game is decided to be held, then it must be done vigorously and as many people as possible are drawn into the game.

  If you make good use of it, you can spread the tubing to all the people.

  Alex, good job, what you call "spending small money to do big things". "

  Getting praise from the boss, Alex is also very happy, smiling and saying: "In fact, it's not a great idea. It's just that I have been in traditional media for a long time and I am familiar with these techniques."

  Xia Jingxing nodded, which is why he wanted to dig traditional media personalities to join him.

  Internet people are good at technology and operations, and they are the best at marketing and content.

   "Okay, then I have no problem."

  The foreign girl nodded, she was also a person who carried the weight, and since Xia Jingxing had agreed, she would naturally not object.

  Xia Jingxing passed the resolution efficiently, and then found the technician of Tubing Video, and began to assign tasks.

  The collection of competition data is inseparable from the support of the technical department.

  There is also the issue of video exposure, which is still a bit tricky.

  In order to solve these problems, the programmer's hair in the tubing has to be reduced by a few more.

  ……

  ……

  Time has come to the end of October.

  Tubing’s first "Millions of Video Bloggers" competition has finally appeared.

  Tubing and Facebook’s website homepages all displayed game activity tips.

  The million-dollar championship reward has made countless people's eyes red.

  This competition is open to all users, and naturally includes users from other countries outside the United States.

  However, the tubing was born in the United States, and eighty to ninety percent of users are in this country.

  Other countries and regions have entered soon, and there are not many users.

  For most Americans, millions of dollars in bonuses may not be earned in their lifetime.

  Americans have a very serious early consumption habit. Although the average annual salary is 30,000 to 40,000 US dollars, almost no one can save 20 or 30 years of money like the Chinese.

  In short, one million dollars is a very exciting number.

  With this money, you can change a big house, you can change a car, you can travel the world, and you can pay off all your credit card debts...

  Isn’t it just shooting a video and sending it to the tubing? To shoot, you have to shoot.

  Also mobilize all your relatives and friends to sponsor your video spots.

  Because the promotion standard of the preliminary round is to use the number of views and the number of likes as indicators.

  Don’t have a tubing account?

  You must pester relatives and friends to register one.

  Users rushed to tell each other, call friends and call friends, and the media were not idle.

  Tubing is now also an Internet celebrity website, and the speed of its rise has set many of the highest in Silicon Valley, such as the fastest breakthrough of one million users, the fastest breakthrough of 10 million users, and so on.

After the media paid attention to the "Millions of Bloggers Contest", they gave reports and interpretations.

   “I have to say that YouTube’s copywriting is very careful. Millions of video bloggers refer to the number of people participating in the competition, and the other refers to the prize money of the competition. I am very much looking forward to who the winner of the championship is and what kind of video he has made..."

  "Most of the users of Youtube are in the United States. If any lucky American person wins this million-dollar bonus, he will truly realize his American dream..."

  "The voices of "million video bloggers" are overwhelmingly discussed. My niece who is still in middle school pesters me and asks me to like her videos.

  Now all over the United States, the way people say hello has changed.

  Have you registered a tubing account? Can you give me a thumbs up for my YouTube video?

  I call this behavior the tubing virus. It is spreading in the United States at an alarming rate, infecting tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people in fifty states. "
