Chapter 628

"Here's the information you need, boss."

Alvette took a document bag out of the bag and handed it to Andy.

Andy takes the bag, opens it and laughs at bardstone. "Bard, the predator team is up to you. I hope to hear more good news."

"Yes, boss. If there's nothing else, I'll go back to the company first."

Andy smiles and nods. He looks at the figure where bardstone left. Then he looks down and starts to look at the information in his hand. It's easy for him to take shorthand.

“。。。” Andy taps his fingers on the data, squints his eyes and touches his chin with his right hand, thinking in a very tangled way.

"Boss, do you want to buy the she traffic network and microblog service called twitter?"

Alvertriel saw his boss's tangled expression, and knew that the boss met with an indecisive problem. He couldn't help asking.

"I have this idea, but at the same time I have a new idea of APP application software. I want to build a she platform of similar micro blog service by myself. Twitter is a ready-made company. If I can buy it, I can save a lot of things." Andieshu opened his eyebrows and said to Al without any concealment.

"I don't recommend to buy this Internet company. I have studied and analyzed this company carefully. It is the next step for the reasonable development of the existing blog website and the initial stage of the blog. It's very convenient to type 140 words and send them to the network. They also realize the flow of information. The advantage is that it can provide direct and important information, which is incomparable with other she delivery websites.

But there are also several big problems in this company. The charging of SMS will make users worry about the growth of SMS fees. After all, the waatsu developed by your boss has become the most popular chat tool. Cross platform mobile real-time chat and free information push have begun to change people's use of charging SMS.

Originally, as soon as they appeared this year, they became the best way for netizens in the southern region of the United States to find parties, which seems to have a very promising future. However, after WhatsApp was launched, the data flow and the number of messages sent by twitter have obviously declined dramatically, and wasp has begun to squeeze its living space. If wasp also has a she platform, I think twitter will not have a good day Yes.

There is also a key question. I can't see the way twitter makes money. Some media also interviewed several founders of twitter. They also raised this question. Their answer is to ask the reporters and take Google as an example. That is to say, they also know that they don't have any way to make money. "

Andy listened to Al's analysis and nodded his approval. Even if twitter was listed and financed in the past, it still didn't solve the problem of profitability, which has been criticized all the time. "But the advantages of twitter still can't be ignored, after all, even without the network, it is very advantageous to send messages to the outside world."

Alvertriel laughed at what the boss said: "boss, even so, we don't have the need to buy. They have started financing outside, hoping to find a venture capital to get the money, but it's not easy. The emergence of wazirp has reduced the value of twitter, but Twitter is still adamant that their market value is 200 million dollars. I don't think you will I'm willing to spend 200 million dollars to buy this company. With this money, I think I can set up a company like this by myself. Moreover, I believe that the products you come up with will be better than theirs. As for the technical personnel after the establishment of the company, ha ha, there are ready-made ones, right? "

Andy felt his chin and his hand jerked. He pulled at the corner of his mouth. His eyes were bright and his mouth was full of cocks. He smiled and looked at al with the same smile and said, "ha ha, do you think it would be too much if I dug up the whole team of Twitter when it was so hard?"

"Well, it's too much. Hehe, but first of all, we need to solve some patent problems. Even twitter now ignores IBM's patent barriers. Since it's a SMS push platform, it can't avoid IBM. At present, it's a potential infringement. Twitter is also a small company. IBM hasn't wielded a patent stick to kill it. I don't think the legal department of IBM is clear If you also want to launch this microblog service platform, I think we should first buy the relevant patents held by IBM, so as to obtain new technologies and establish a protection network for infringement litigation attacks. Even if twitter survives tenaciously in the future, we can make them disabled! "

Andy thinks that although his WhatsApp is a new IT company, he has 11 patents in his hands so far, and there are more than 60 patents under examination and approval. Here in the United States, the lack of intellectual property rights of any new Internet company may make this company the target of litigation and restrict its ability to fight back by claiming its own patents If we don't set up a patent protection network, we will be really stupid. The better we develop, the more lawsuits we will have.

"Let the think tank list the related patents and potential infringement patents, and we will spend money to buy them, which is inevitable. This kind of thing should be solved as soon as possible and can't be delayed. The purchase of patent rights will provide us with more complete intellectual property protection, and give us more freedom of movement to innovate on behalf of all the people who use our services." Andy attaches great importance to the patent barrier. Why does Facebook like big fish to eat small fish? Why does Facebook dare to play snake and swallow elephant? It takes the money from the listing financing to eliminate potential rivals everywhere. All the companies that may threaten it will be acquired, because most of the companies acquired by Facebook are new Internet companies. In addition to eliminating rivals, it also establishes a strong from the acquisition Big patent barrier, a popular saying in the IT industry in the United States, may have been born in a garage to replace your creativity!With the patent barrier, we don't have to worry about a garage entrepreneur suddenly jumping out to become a new legend, a new challenger. A patent barrier alone can kill these potential threats in the cradle. This is also why the Internet industry in various countries has developed to the end, on the contrary, it has spawned a monster oligarch enterprise of the type of giant, and the reason why Internet entrepreneurship is becoming more and more difficult Because.

"I see. We're already putting in people to do the work." Al nodded to show that he understood, and had ordered people to do it. He still knew his boss's character very well. He liked to take the initiative in everything and didn't like being controlled by others.

After sending away alvert column, Andy starts to turn with a signing pen in his hand, and his brain is also running at full speed. This time, it's not only to create instagram photo wall, a she app running on the mobile end. Instagram is an app that can share the pictures captured by users at any time in a fast, wonderful and interesting way. We also need to build our own unique platform website that can send 140 text messages like Twitter, and combine the functions of microblog and photo wall. After all, the value of a single instagram photo wall can't meet Andy's current appetite.

In this way, this new Internet model can completely replace the undeveloped twitter, and completely eliminate this opponent. Of course, if twitter can survive under Andy's first round of attack.

Andy picks up the phone and calls Korn ferry consulting company, Heidegger International Co., Ltd. and the two largest headhunters in the United States. They have only one requirement. He wants the development and management team of twitter company.

For an important customer like Andy Smith, no one is willing to ignore it. After hanging up the phone, the two companies immediately met to form a team to take charge of the poaching task. As for the life and death of twitter company, it's not their consideration. Since the big guy has made a point, all they headhunters have to do is to make full use of the customer's requirements It's their main task to finish the work and satisfy the customers.

"You should know how much we, the youngest billionaire in the world, like to use professional managers, and every professional manager has been fully trusted. This time, his goal is very clear. Twitter, a small company in San Francisco and Silicon Valley, Smith 's priority is to poach the development team of Twitter and all but three founders The management team is the goal this time. " The CEO of Korn ferry international consulting company, with his hands pressed on the conference table, looked around for a week, leaned forward with sharp eyes, and said to everyone present.
