Chapter 073 [The more scolded the more fire]
The positioning of reddit is very special. It is the source of fresh web events and hot events, and it is also the most interesting place in the Internet world and a highly organized link concentration.
Everything is divided into a section, which contains links rich in specific interests of the section, which is exactly the same as the model of Tieba.
Each section focuses on specific types of content and has a very wide coverage, including not only news, Zhengzhi, sports, music, games, etc. Whether you are an antique lover, plant lover, or like niche music, you can find or create corresponding sections here.
Of course, more importantly, through reddit, you can find people with similar interests.
When reddit was first launched, it attracted much attention from the industry because it was almost completely contrary to the BlueSpae social networking website, the most famous product under BlueSpae, which was originally aware of BlueSpae's innovative capabilities.
But as the website was launched for a week, the popularity suddenly changed. A large number of mainstream media in Europe and the United States criticized Reddit, which attracted a large number of bad reviews in a short period of time. Soon, the corresponding users also criticized it as the most evil website in history.
There is an animal section on reddit, and the creator stipulates that only cute and positive photos of animals can be posted here. Sick, dying, pets who have just returned from the hospital are not allowed to upload here.
But there are always a few troublemakers who like to build their happiness on other people's pain, but they just don't listen and do not abide by the rules. Some people even post pictures of color on it. After being deleted, they immediately follow the administrator. Because it is an anonymous mechanism, they are even more scruples.
The mechanism adopted by reddit is quite "willful". You can join as long as you register a username that others have not used. In other words, as long as you are happy, it is very simple to create n accounts, and it is not as real-name as blue space.
The anonymity mechanism allows people to easily disguise themselves on reddit. When netizens realize this, the evil side of human nature is gradually revealed here.
As March began, the reddit website was moving forward with amidst the verbal abuse and bad comments. Many voices called on FBI or any department to go to Monroe Park and forced the website to be closed.
These were already expected by Luo Sheng, so the company also hired a professional legal team in its North American branch. Although it costs a lot of money, it is necessary to maintain such a strong legal team, especially in the European and American markets.
The legal team will only grow bigger and bigger.
Although North American netizens and some media are hostile to reddit, they are unable to shut down the website.
Through the traffic ranking query of alexa website, you will find that reddit's activity and traffic are constantly increasing in amidst abuse and bad comments, and it is a stance that the more you scold, the more you become more popular.
By mid-March, the number of users of the reddit website exceeded one million, which attracted the attention of the industry.
Reddit will take advantage of the trend to launch new features, and anyone can post any connection, and the link that gets the most "likes" will rise to the top of the page.
The launch of this function has gone to another extreme. On the one hand, the activity of reddit has soared and become very dynamic, while on the other hand, it has led to negative situations. Because the website does not restrict registration, the "water army" thing began to appear naturally on reddit.
Some water army organizations have clear division of labor. First, they register an account crazily, and then start to "maintain an account" slowly. When the water army is operating, they first ask people to express their opinions on a certain topic, and others will operate a large number of accounts to like the topic and increase popularity. They will be pushed onto the homepage and finally achieve the purpose of publicity.
reddit is simply a community with monsters dancing. This is the freedom given to it. As its popularity gradually spreads, reddit's visits are growing rapidly, and it has the potential to become a super community.
It is difficult for some senior practitioners in the industry to explain what type of website reddit is, because its plasticity is too strong and it contains various forms and elements.
He was criticized by the media and was criticized by users themselves. Some netizens who angrily criticized Reddit as the most sandy website in history. They visited Reddit on Reddit and felt unhappy. They squirted on other people's sections, or did something that made others super unhappy, and felt much more happy.
This is an online community that "come, hurt each other".
As time goes by, foreign melon-eating netizens are cursing, but the number of times they use to open reddit. has quietly increased. And some "sand sculpture" incidents are also shared on the blue space, which indirectly aroused curiosity for others. This chain reaction is driving a rapid surge in reddit traffic.
Although users have great freedom here and pay extremely low costs for their own speech, the website still prohibits some absolutely taboo topics, such as anti-human things, as well as issues such as racism and discrimination that people in North America avoid.
If you don’t pay attention to these problems, it is not that the media is slandering, but that the website may be forced to shut down and you can’t win a lawsuit.
But this does not prevent North American netizens from using reddit more frequently. Gradually, from the US foreign policy to the cute photos of a pet, it can cause users to like or step on crazy.
Yes, the blue space only has a like function, but the function of "stepping on" the reddit website is even more effective than a like in improving the website's activity.
From time to time, some talented comments will appear, which will quickly spread to the reddit website, and even to other corners of the Internet to become popular jokes.
The emergence of reddit and the sign of becoming a hit product also surprised Silicon Valley. The domestic Internet industry is also paying attention, but this time no one dares to imitate reddit and set up an anonymous community website in China that gives users great freedom.
He was called to stop every minute.
However, the reddit website obviously has the same effect as Yunge Tieba in many places. It is a "European and American Tieba" created by Luo Sheng for European and American netizens. The Yunge Tieba is currently operating in an orderly manner. Yu Jun and Li Mingyuan are planning the operation of the "Super Girl" entertainment event.
Luo Sheng actually didn't pay much attention to the reddit website. The outside world is looking at this website, but he is very clear that reddit's traffic monetization ability is relatively poor, and it is difficult to accurately place advertisements, so it is difficult to attract advertisers.
However, Luo Sheng did not expect to bring much profit to him directly by reddit. He was interested in the traffic here. The Internet must be the king of traffic. If the traffic is not monetized here, the ability to monetize the traffic here is not good, so he will be diverted to other places and still monetized.
After all, wool comes from dogs is a common phenomenon in the Internet field.
When the time came mid-March, Luo Sheng had already taken the lead from the development sequence, and the development of Bluestar Music and Bluestar Video were handed over to Xu Yong to lead the development team to continue development.
Luo Sheng, who was withdrawn from the house, had more important things to plan.
...
Bluestar Technology, Board of Directors.
"What? The company has entered the ICT field? IMHO Chairman, there is no doubt that you have made great achievements in the IT Internet field, but I don't think the company can still achieve the same achievements in the ICT field."
The board of directors was in an uproar at this moment. The other five directors at the meeting were all the interest agents of investors, all looking at Luo Sheng with incredible expressions.
Because he had just suddenly proposed to let the company enter the ICT field, to be precise, Luo Sheng clearly expressed his desire to play semiconductors, hardware R&D technology, and to invest 100 million US dollars in this field.
This group of VC agents was stunned when they heard him make such a decision. A pure Internet company has been established for a year and has no technical reserves and related resources in the ICT field. Not to mention 100 million US dollars, even 1 billion US dollars, billions of dollars will not be able to make any achievements.
This is floating.
When hundreds of millions of dollars were invested, it was definitely not even a sound. There was no doubt that Luo Sheng's proposal was opposed on the spot and unanimously opposed by all external directors.
Even if you know that voting may not be stopped, it is important to protect the interests of shareholders you represent.
This was all within Luo Sheng's expectations, and it was right to strongly oppose it, so that it could naturally enter the mediation later.
Luo Sheng said harmlessly: "I have to enter the ICT field no matter what. Since investors are afraid that I will destroy Blue Star Technology, I will use my own money to make trouble. But I don't have that much money, but I have the equity of Blue Star Technology. I can transfer some of the equity of Blue Star Technology held by myself and let the investors represented buy it, otherwise I will have to let the company enter this industry."
Several external directors attending the meeting looked at each other, and everyone said nothing, but they were scolding Luo Sheng, a shameless dog.
This is a threat of monetization to force buying and selling. Equity transfer is not financing. The financing money belongs to the company's money. VC's purchase of Luo Sheng's transfer of his personal equity means that the money belongs to his personal and does not belong to the company's property.
There is no doubt that for investors, it increases risk leverage.
Well, it's hard to get on the verge of the tiger now, and the investors were stunned. They never dreamed that Luo Sheng was playing so much money on him. They had not yet made a penny back, and they did not have enough voting rights to check and balance him.
There are two options in front of the VPN. The first option is to treat this investment project of Blue Star Technology as a bad debt. If someone accepts it, it transfers the equity at a low price. If it cannot be transferred, it is a bad debt. However, the VPN invested in Blue Star Technology is the world's top VPN. Even if they sell it, it means that they are not optimistic, so they will definitely not dare to accept it, so they can only treat it as a bad debt.
What makes the VC confused is that Blue Star Technology's outstanding performance is undeniable, but Luo Sheng suddenly got stuck in his brain circuit or was he going to make trouble with ICT. However, he is very successful in the Internet industry, and this cannot be denied.
With such a nerve-like founder, he still firmly controls the company. VC can't interfere yet, so how can he not be confused?
The second option is that after getting on his pirate ship, he would simply go all the way to the black market, and he would bear several times the risk of leverage investment. He could give him the money and let him do it. He would lose all his money. Luo Sheng would bear all the risks himself. These risks do not need to be transferred to Blue Star Technology.
The major external directors present really don't understand that Luo Sheng can be so decisive. He would rather transfer his equity and have to make money to play ICT. He really doesn't know where she got her mysterious confidence. So why do she compete with giants such as ibm, Intel, Qualcomm, and Ti.
In the eyes of these external directors, Luo Sheng's move was completely useless.
"I have decided. Now I officially propose to hold an extraordinary shareholders' meeting 15 days later." Luo Sheng immediately decided to make the decision. To put it bluntly, it means that I had cashed out before. This situation basically won't happen. However, Blue Star Technology is developing well and can be cashed out at any time. However, Luo Sheng has been suppressing the desire to make money, which will lead to the company's lack of profit.
Because of this, he is 100% sure that this cash-out will definitely be successful. It's nothing else. The temptation of profit. In addition, he has trapped major VPNs now. It's like a company owes the bank tens of billions or hundreds of billions of dollars. The bank is a false debt, for fear that your company will go bankrupt, his loan will be wasted. He can only bite the bullet and continue to borrow or you will go bankrupt.
Investors have already spent billions of soft sister coins on Blue Star Technology. How could they say that bad debts become bad debts? Moreover, this debt is actually not bad at all.
