Chapter 58: 1 It must be him!

　　 Frank Arneson drove to Canary Wharf, London.
　　 Canary Wharf is a famous yacht terminal in London. If the world-famous Eclipse of Abramovich does not go to sea, it always stops along the shore of Canary Wharf.
　　Walking on the pier, one can see the Eclipse, which is particularly white in the sun.
　　 is 168 meters in length and 21.5 meters in width. Such a large size can be regarded as a giant in Canary Wharf.
　　 Not only that, it is also a yacht with amazing protection capabilities, equipped with a set of anti-missile systems developed by Germany, two helicopters on standby, twenty jet skis and so on.
　　 Every time he sees this yacht, Arneson can't help but want to curse.
　　 Rich people are so good!
　　 But now, the more he goes on the eclipse, the more uneasy he feels.
　　He knows exactly why Abramovich called him to Canary Wharf.
　　 He messed up an important thing!
　　Walk onto the Eclipse and walked up the spiraling stairs to the deck. Abramovich was sitting on the deck, opposite Chelsea coach Ancelotti, which surprised Arnesen.
　　 "Boss." Arneson stepped forward.
　　 Abramovich nodded, and pointed to the opposite seat, motioning him to sit casually, but he was staring at the phone.
　　 Ding Dong ~ Ding Dong, two messages came from the mobile phone for less than three or four seconds.
　　 After reading the news, Abramovich couldn't help laughing.
　　 This makes Frank Arneson and Ancelotti sitting aside very strange.
looking at what? So funny?
　　 Abramovich handed the phone over, "Look at it."
　　 Ancelotti was the nearest, and he leaned in immediately, and Arnesen wanted to look forward, but when he saw Ancelotti was ahead, he immediately retracted.
He, the technical director, is at odds with all the coaches of the team. He was with Mourinho before. When Mourinho was gone, Grant was a little better, but whether it was Scolari or Ancelotti, they all followed He has a bad relationship.
　　 It turns out that Abramovich was following the press conference of Southampton on the WeChat platform.
　　 "Hello, Neymar, I'm Rudolph, a reporter from the Brazilian Daily News. I want to ask you, why did you choose Southampton, which is at a lower level, between Chelsea and Southampton?"
　　 There is nothing funny about this question. What is really funny is the expression below.
　　 A cute cartoon drawing of Neymar that occupies half of the phone screen, squatted on the ground for a break from school, but grabbed his hair hard, with an exaggerated, distressed and embarrassed expression.
　　Rao is that Ancelotti had been prepared for a long time, and when he saw this emoticon, he couldn't help but smile.
　　 There was another dingdong, and Neymar's reply was heard soon.
　　 Ancelotti pushed the phone back to Abramovich, who picked it up and took a look.
Neymar replied: "Joining Southampton is a decision made by me and my family after careful consideration. I am eager to play for a European team, but joining a giant like Chelsea is too risky, so I decided to be like Ronaldo and Ronaldo. Like his predecessors, Dinho will play for a low-level team first and adapt to the European football style."
"Another very important reason is that I have deeply felt Southampton's ambition and strength during many contacts. The team introduced Ibrahimovic this summer. They told me that Continue to introduce more stars and I believe we will return to the Premier League soon and enter the European arena."
　　 "I am still young, only eighteen years old. Two years later, I have adapted to European football and the team has returned to the Premier League. At that time, the best Neymar will be ushered in!"
　　 "As for Chelsea, I have never had any contact with them."
　　 Then there was another cute emoji that occupies nearly half of the screen, and a cartoon of Neymar with an exaggerated tongue.
　　Although he is driving down Chelsea, Abramovich can't hate it. Instead, he thinks this cuteness is very cute and likable.
　　 "Look at it." Abramovich pushed the phone in front of Arneson.
　　 Arneson took the phone, held it up and looked it up and down, feeling a little flustered.
　　 Regarding the operation of Neymar’s transfer, he is indeed a little careless, because he feels that this is just another rookie who is touted too high in Brazil and is not worth spending so much money.
　　 So he made an offer of 20 million euros, but Santos paid a astronomical price of 35 million euros.
It is impossible for Arnesen to agree to such a deal. It is crazy, and 35 million euros is impossible. Neymar’s breach of contract is only 30 million euros. Who would be foolish enough to spend 35 million euros. Introducing Neymar?
　　 "Southampton directly used the breach of contract money to buy out Neymar's contract." This is the news that Arneson received.
　　 Abramovich nodded faintly, "I know."
　　 took the phone that Arneson handed over again. He didn't continue to look at it. He turned off the screen and put it on the table.
　　 "I just want to know now, why do we lose to an League One team?"
　　 The last sentence shows the anger in Abramovich's heart.
　　Even if he deliberately suppressed it, everyone could hear him holding back his anger.
　　 Neymar was called out in person, and it was Ancelotti who expressed his wish to bring in, but in the end he switched to other teams.
　　 If it is Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United and other top giants, that would be better, but it is a League One team, which is slapped Abramovich and Ancelotti.
　　 What do people who don’t know outside say? What do you think of them?
　　 Everyone must joke that Chelsea actually lost to a League One team!
　　 Arneson was silent, he couldn't explain anything, it was indeed his problem.
　　 can only say that he is too careless and too self-righteous.
　　 "I'm sorry!" Arneson can only bow his head to apologize.
　　 Other than that, he can't do anything.
　　 Ancelotti's eyes were full of anger and hostility.
　　 It must be this Italian giving a small report in front of the boss!
　　 must be him!
　　…………
　　…………
　　 A corner of Mountain View, Silicon Valley, WhatsApp headquarters, the second floor of an ordinary office building.
　　 Yang? Kum stared blankly at the desk in front of him, with a computer on it, an Apple phone in front of the computer keyboard, and a handwritten note pinned to the phone beside it.
　　 "No ads! No games! No gimmicks!"
　　 The author of this handwritten note is right in front of him, his partner, Brian Acton.
　　 And at this moment, both of them are doubting whether the three on the note are correct for the first time.
　　 Brian Acton propped his hands on the desk, holding his forehead, looking extremely distressed.
"According to the latest news we got, their press conference focused on developing efforts in South America, and along with this press conference, they also updated the WeChat version and launched a campaign called the mood stamp. Service."
Since the launch of WeChat, WhatsApp has been in bad luck. First, it was free for a limited time. As a result, the server crashed twice in a short period of time, and then it crashed because of too many users and the server could not carry the load. It was three times in a row, which affected their reputation. A lot has been lost and a lot of users have been lost.
　　 Today, WeChat’s users have surpassed WhatsApp, they have exceeded 4 million, and they are attacking 5 million.
　　 WhatsApp has always stayed at three million, and there is even a faint danger of slipping from the three million level.
　　 This makes the two founders have to worry.
　　 What dampened their confidence even more was their creed of running this company.
　　 Don't you want a stunt?
　　 opponents rely on stunt marketing to surpass them!
　　 "South America?" Yang Koom's face was extremely serious, and he realized a problem.
　　 "Is there any problem?" Brian Acton did not want to understand for a moment.
　　 Yang? Combe wanted to say something very much, but his mind was in a mess. It took more than a minute to organize his feet before he stood up.
　　 "U.S. smartphone users usually use the monthly subscription system. After the monthly subscription system, phone calls, text messages, and Internet traffic are free, so they are not willing to save text messages.

The words of 　　 Yang Qom completely woke up Brian Acton.
　　 The monthly subscription system in the United States is a unique phenomenon. In Europe, Asia, South America and other countries and regions, this monthly subscription system is rarely adopted, so they are very interested in the services promoted by WeChat and WhatsApp.
　　 Because this can help them save a lot of money.
　　 In Europe, WeChat has already gained fame, and now they want to work in South America and Asia.
　　 "This is a conscious act of seizing the market!" Young Koum can swear 100% that the opponent is premeditated.
　　 Brian Acton was also dumbfounded. Their limited time is free, and most of them are for users in the United States. The reason is simple. Registering to use WhatsApp requires SMS verification. The domestic SMS verification fee is the cheapest, only two cents.
　　Do you know? If it is a foreign country, such as the Middle East, Asia and South America, it will cost 65 cents each.
　　 The more foreign users, the higher their operating costs.
　　In other words, SMS verification has become the rope that binds the rapid development of WhatsApp.
　　 As for WeChat, they don’t need SMS verification, so they can unscrupulously attract users anywhere in the world.
　　The only trouble is that they have to have good enough servers.
　　 But judging from the recent period, their server quality is quite good.
　　 "What should we do now?" Brian Acton was a little weak~EbookFREE.me~ He found that the business model they thought was perfect before was full of mistakes.
　　 Moreover, they have no time to slow down, fine-tune, and fill the loopholes.
　　 The strong development of WeChat is to force them to quickly keep up.
　　 They first launched celebrity accounts, and now they launched mood stamps, and they may launch more services one after another, which will allow them to attract more and more users.
　　 Once users have accumulated certain social relationships, they will no longer be willing to easily transfer platforms.
　　 In other words, these people will become die-hard users of WeChat!
　　 Yang? Qom didn’t know what to do?
Judging from their current situation, it is difficult to attract the interest of investors, but without anyone investing, they don’t have enough funds to fight WeChat, so they can only watch their competitors follow them step by step. Open the gap and leave.
　　 More than a year, they worked so hard, and it took more than a year to create this company, but it was completely defeated in just one week!
　　 At this moment, both of them are a little depressed.
　　 At this moment, the door of Jan Combe's office was knocked hard twice. After opening it, the employee's panicked face was revealed, "Boss, our server has crashed again!"
　　 Young? Koum and Brian? Acton are ashamed and desperate!
