Chapter 8, A Sudden Appearance of a Small Note

Excited, Zhang Han was immediately rendered speechless upon hearing this, while everyone looked at Ren Hong, who showed no sign of concern upon hearing these words

"Then, wasn't our conversation just now overheard by the other party?" Chen Kai exclaimed in astonishment

"Hurry! Prepare to welcome them, no, I will go personally." After saying this, the leader left the office on the spot

Ren Hong's analysis is flawless; once xlous is listed, it can become one of the top ten internet companies in China solely based on this product

The people from Sequoia Capital have arrived, the assistant whispered

I understand! Zhang Han suddenly exclaimed: "With the launch of real-time online translation, these giant companies are likely to be alarmed. Whether it is Facebook or Google+, the social networks that possess real-time online translation will dominate the field. If Facebook acquires real-time online translation, its position as the world's leading social network will be nearly unshakeable. Conversely, if other social networks obtain exclusive rights to real-time online translation, they may very well leverage this powerful tool to compete for users from their rivals, especially considering the additional 3.8 billion potential users worldwide who have yet to access the internet, which presents an unparalleled competitive advantage."

Ren Hong smiled and continued, "Instant online translation occupies such a transcendent position, yet I do not believe that these social network giants would be entirely uninterested in an artifact that could solidify their existing status or defeat their competitors. Furthermore, even if we grant Facebook exclusive rights to instant online translation on social networking platforms, it does not mean that we would completely lose users from Google+. It is important to note that Google+ users are not solely social users; some of them may have an interest in the cultures of other countries, and when they browse websites, they will require our products, which indirectly ensnares Google+ users into using our products."

Ren Hongqiang emphasized: "Regardless of whether they are users of companies like Twitter or Facebook, everyone belongs to the category of internet users, and this is the core value of instant online translation."

At present, he is only thinking about how to calm the anger of this young founder. Clearly, this startup, which is still renting campus facilities, is well aware that this ordinary classroom contains a golden egg. It is important to understand that one can afford to have conflicts with anyone, but one must never have conflicts with the US dollar, as that would be a crime

Li Tao outside the door turned a shade of pig liver upon hearing Zhang Han's words, but that was no longer important. Everything that Ren Hong had said earlier was etched in his mind, and the more he listened, the more astonished he became, even to the point of hearing things he had never considered before.

Haha! I never expected our product to have such a significant advantage. It's ridiculous that the fool sent by IDG actually gave a valuation of 1 billion dollars. I think he must have had his head kicked by a donkey to think that way, as if it's just a cabbage

At this point, those present who were listening finally understood

Wow! Who is the person in that Rolls-Royce Phantom?

Meanwhile, an office within the academy received a message, and upon learning of it, the school leaders stood up from their seats in shock, exclaiming: "What did you say? The founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, has come to the school?"

If the people present still do not understand after Ren Hong has said so much, then they might as well just hit their heads against a block of soft tofu and end it all

Correct! Ren Hong nodded with a smile, "If Google+ obtains exclusive authorization for our product, it would not be surprising to see it either completely defeat Facebook or at least achieve a 50-50 or even 60-40 split. It is important to note that Google's parent company, Alphabet, is also a giant corporation, and Google and Facebook are indeed competitors. Google's social networking dream has never died."

The impact? As everyone seemed to be lost in thought, Ren Hong did not disturb them. At this moment, the sound of knocking from outside seemed to have faded away, yet Ren Hong did not concern himself with whether the other party had left.

Zhang Han followed his thoughts and said: "In that case, we shall wait for the right price, haha"

It doesn't matter! Ren Hong shook his head and said: "Even if he knows, there is nothing he can do!"

Li Taosheng was shocked that this young college student had such a profound understanding of market analysis. At this moment, he regretted it so deeply that he felt as if his intestines had turned green. This company did not need venture capitalists to seek investment; on the contrary, it was the venture capital firms that were eager to invest with large sums of cash.

Upon thinking of this, Li Taosheng became anxious, disregarding his identity.

"What the hell! I thought they had left!" Zhang Han was startled upon hearing the sounds from outside the door

What impact? Zhang Han and a few others seemed not to have considered this

Mr. Ren! I sincerely apologize to you, and I hope we can meet again. Mr. Ren," Li Taosheng kept shouting. Suddenly, the assistant tugged at Li Taosheng's sleeve. The latter turned around and whispered, "What is it?"

"What? Damn it! These bastards have noses more sensitive than dogs." Upon hearing this news, Li Taosheng felt utterly disheartened. His assistant, upon hearing these words, silently criticized, thinking that this also included himself. However, it was evident that at this moment, Li Taosheng had no mind to consider such matters.

Mr. Ren! Mr. Ren!

Ren Hong glanced at everyone with disappointment, saying, "It seems that you are only suited for technical roles." He initially wanted to see if these roommates had the potential to become CEOs of a company, but it appeared they did not. Ren Hong was clearly the perfect candidate for CEO of Xlous, yet he was more obsessed with technology. With this in mind, he was already preparing to consider hiring a headhunting firm to find a professional manager once the company moved out of the school.

At this point, Ren Hong took a sip of water and continued, "Have you ever considered what kind of impact the launch of real-time online translation will have?"

At this moment, a luxury sedan arrived at the entrance of Tsinghua University. The students inside the campus turned their heads to look at this extravagant vehicle.

Although waiting for a favorable price is good, it will offend both sides. What if they unite? These are truly the giants of the world; how can we act this way?

Ren Hong looked at the puzzled expressions of the crowd and explained: "Instant online translation is inherently designed for the internet, created for the social networks that facilitate immediate sharing. How many social network companies are there globally? Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and so on. Currently, Facebook is the leader in social networking. What would happen if Google+ were to obtain exclusive rights for instant online translation in the social domain?"

Ren Hong looked at everyone with an exaggerated expression, opened his arms, and said: "So what if they unite? Whether they band together or fight, what does it have to do with xlous? There is no competitive relationship between xlous and them; our products do not conflict with theirs. Fine. Suppose they are oblivious to the emergence of instant online translation, it doesn't matter, I will continue to sell our products. Users of Facebook can use it, users of Twitter can use it, users of Google+ and so on can use it, unless they prevent users from installing instant online translation, but that is clearly impossible. Instant online translation is akin to the open-source Android system; whether the development among manufacturers like Xiaomi, Vivo, or Oppo is peaceful or fiercely competitive, they all still use Android, and it has nothing to do with Android."
