Chapter 5, Launch of the First Product

Basically, that is it. Ren Hong's gaze shifted away, then fell upon the crowd as he announced: "Starting today, I hereby declare that the company's first product is officially launched!"

However, with the advent of instant online translation, everything has changed. Instant online translation has made social interactions closer and has facilitated smoother communication and sharing. Zuckerberg has realized that if a competitor secures exclusive rights to this application in the social networking domain, it would be a truly catastrophic blow to Facebook. He must take it seriously, as this is an application capable of challenging the dominance of giants, and it is also an application that could elevate a social network to become a giant.

This is indeed a good suggestion. However, after a brief pause, Ren Hongwen nodded and said: "But it is not necessary"

The most typical example is that the launch of Instagram once became Facebook's most formidable competitor; however, it was ultimately acquired by Zuckerberg, which allowed it to find peace. This illustrates the reason why everyone in the internet sector consistently maintains a sense of crisis

Ren Hong invested all of his existing funds into the company, leaving only a small amount behind, while spending the rest entirely on promotion. Although it seemed like a drop in the bucket, this was the utmost they could achieve at the moment. Meanwhile, the six individuals fully leveraged their social circles to promote with all their might

As the real-time online translation service was officially launched, Ren Hong and his subordinates tirelessly promoted it through various means, while far across the ocean in Menlo Park, California, was the headquarters of Facebook

Starting today, the company's official website is officially open, and it includes an instant online translation download section, available in three versions: PC, Android, and iOS

Zuckerberg is very aware that instant online translation is inherently suited for social networking platforms, born for the internet. Its application on his platforms is akin to adding wings to a tiger, while its use on competitors' platforms could serve as a powerful tool capable of undermining the dominance of any social network. Prior to this, he did not pay much attention to competitors such as Twitter or Google+, as Facebook had already established its dominant position in the social networking field.

Ren Hongyi took a look at the company's official website, which features a space blue theme. The term "xlous" stands out prominently against a gray metallic sheen. To its right, there are four striking large characters that read: Change the World!

Indeed, our company's funds are insufficient to launch our product with immediate impact. I suggest that we offer the product for free for a period of time, and once our product has gained significant recognition, we can then consider charging for it. Zhang Han proposed, as the company currently lacks the funds for promotion, the most reasonable promotional strategy is to utilize free methods, even though everyone present is confident about the prospects of instant online translation.

The next day, Ren Hong returned to the school again

After a long time, Zuckerberg, who had been silent, stopped his work on the computer. He interlaced his fingers and placed them on his forehead, closing his eyes. Then he looked at the report again

He seemed to imagine the expressions of the current CEOs of Twitter and Facebook, Jack and Zuckerberg, upon seeing the contents of this email. Was it Jack's ecstatic joy after the initial shock? Because this miraculous tool has the potential to surpass Facebook, to overthrow the current number one social network in the world. How enticing and exhilarating is that?

Clearly, upon witnessing the instant online translation, Zuckerberg's reaction was as Ren Hong had anticipated. However, one notable difference is that Zuckerberg's seriousness was at its peak, as he felt an overwhelming sense of crisis. The greater the stature of such super giants, the more intense their sense of crisis becomes

The next day, Mark Zuckerberg sat motionless at his desk, just as the rumors outside suggested. He was still wearing a gray T-shirt. This 32-year-old global billionaire was intently focused on his computer. Just moments ago, his assistant had delivered an urgent document, and at this moment, he was completely absorbed in staring at his screen

Ren Hong returned to his room. After suspending his studies, he rented an independent house off-campus. Although the rent pained him, it was still within an acceptable range. He believed that after some time, everything would become better.

The instant online translation service has officially launched, initially promoting it on campus, such as on the school's forum. The six individuals also fully utilized their limited networks, making the most of available resources.

The phrase "xlous: Change the World" does not include an English translation for the four Chinese characters, as it is unnecessary. When people use instant online translation, it will automatically translate into any language you desire

He installed a PC version of the software that had been sent to him on his computer. Prior to this, he had been immensely shocked when he saw the report, wondering how such an application could possibly exist in the world. Now, he was silently watching his computer as Zuckerberg was surfing the internet using real-time online translation. He logged into his social networking platforms such as Facebook and Instagram, as well as video sites like YouTube.

In the upcoming period, everyone was filled with enthusiasm. Zhang Han and others immediately immersed themselves in work after completing their daily classes. The domain registration for "xlous" was completed, and the official website was under intense construction. For the official website of "xlous" at hetushu.com, Ren Hong had only one requirement: to create an atmosphere filled with futurism and technology. Since "xlous" is a high-tech company, its official website must also carry the unique genes of the company.

As soon as the words were spoken, Zhang Han and others excitedly applauded. Although the applause was not deafening, it was filled with confidence and enthusiasm. Ren Hongqiang, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, said: "This is our company's first product, and this great product deserves a grand launch event. However, I assure you that our second product will be officially launched in a magnificent hall, under the gaze of the world!"

Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this

And what about Mark Zuckerberg? Shocked? Surprised? Afraid? The powerful capabilities of real-time online translation are shocking, the surprise is that this software seems to be born for social networking platforms, and the fear is that if competitors acquire this technology, it poses a terrifying threat to Facebook. Internet companies maintain a strong sense of crisis at all times, as no one knows what will happen in the next moment. The birth of new things can destroy the old world in an instant, which is particularly prominent in the field of the internet

In classroom 317, all six individuals have arrived. Currently, there are only six people in "xlous", but that is sufficient.

Upon returning home, he opened his computer and skillfully logged into his email. An email containing instant online translation software in three versions: PC, Android, and iOS, was sent to the United States, with the recipient being none other than the headquarters of Facebook. Soon after, he sent the same email to the headquarters of Twitter. After seeing both emails sent successfully, Ren Hongmu sat motionless in front of the computer, silent. After a long while, a faint smile gradually appeared on his lips.

Ren Hongxin confidently stated, "Leave the issue of product promotion to me; there is no need for you to worry. You only need to complete the tasks I have assigned to you."

Zhang Han was taken aback; he originally thought that Ren Hong would adopt his suggestion

Ren Hongyi browsed the UI interface of the company's official website, nodding slightly; this was the effect he desired, filled with a sense of the future and the charm of technology

The company’s official website has been basically completed! It can be launched, and the final forum for the website can be finalized today," said Zhou Hui

China. Tsinghua University. Xielus Ren. "Zuckerberg murmured to himself, suddenly, he abruptly stood up from his seat and called for his assistant: 'Cancel all appointments, arrange a flight for me to Beijing, China immediately, remember, immediately!'"

As soon as the words fell, excited applause resounded once again. Ren Hong closed his eyes, and the tumult in his heart filled him with immense joy. He firmly believed that the next time he stood on stage, it would be a scene that would turn the world upside down
