"Principal, I don't want to study anymore."

After settling in, Xia Jingxing went to the principal's office to find old man John, and the other party was happy when he heard the first sentence.

"Daren, just hold on."

The old man John smiled and said, "You and the dog's investment immigration application materials have been handed in, and I have entrusted a friend at the Immigration Bureau to expeditiously process it, and there will be news in a few months.

You are still on an F-1 visa for international students, and if you drop out, there is no reason for you to stay in the United States. "

"oh, I see!"

Xia Jingxing shrugged, "Okay, then I'll be in prison for a few months."

"Darren, is it that hard? Going to college is like going to jail?"

Xia Jingxing nodded.

He really had this kind of experience, and reading has become boring to him.

Going to lectures, class assignments, and exams every day is a complete perfunctory.

And it's still a delay, Facebook's development has already stepped into the highway.

If he is still half-hearted at this time, he might overturn the car.

"The data of Dating.com is getting very close to us, and we must join Facebook full-time as soon as possible to win this crucial battle."

Hearing Xia Jingxing mentioning the dating website, Old John's expression became serious.

He had reminded Darren and the three founders before that they must be wary of this competitor.

Sure enough, now his predictions are starting to come true.

He will undoubtedly argue right and wrong, and the first thing he needs to do is how to make Facebook beat this competitor.

"I'm going to have the tech team develop a 'high school version' of Facebook that penetrates the teens."

Old John frowned, "Just a high school version, how many students are there? At most, double the target market to more than 30 million people."

"More than 30 million people are not a lot.

New challenges will be presented to our team and product capabilities. "

Xia Jingxing said with a smile: "The United States currently has a total population of only 290 million. After deducting some elderly people who are not used to using the Internet, there are only more than 100 million netizens.

If we can win high schools and colleges and solidify our fundamentals, we can start grabbing users directly from other sites. "

The old man John said lightly, "I'm afraid that when the time comes, people will be bigger than Facebook, and they will grab your users in turn."

"It's possible, but unlikely."

Old John raised his hand and motioned for Xia Jingxing to continue speaking.

"Mr. Hennessy, you don't think dating sites don't have challengers, do you?"

"Yes, but at present all challengers are not a climate, and the development of dating network is the best."

Xia Jingxing nodded and admitted, "This is true, but being ahead temporarily does not mean that you will always be ahead."

"The users of the dating network have grown to Asia, Southeast Asia, you know?"

Old John looked complicated, "This is the first time I've heard of it. How did you know?"

"Amazon is now in the same boat with us, and will naturally tip us off."

Old John nodded, acquiescing to the authenticity of the information.

"How did they develop to Asia? Are they not afraid of collapse by starting internationalization so quickly?"

Although Old John kept calling Xia Jingxing and others to "expand ~ re-expansion", it was not that he could not see the pressure on management and technology caused by the rapid expansion.

When I heard that the dating network has developed to Asia, the first thing that comes to my mind is not that the opponents are too great, but that the steps are too big.

"Dating sites are very popular in Asian circles in California, especially Filipinos."

Xia Jingxing said with a smile: "Since you reminded us, we have been following every move of the dating network.

We found that some Filipinos brought this website to their Philippines and introduced them to their relatives and friends.

We can chat online through the dating network and see each other's lives. "

Old man John frowned, "According to you, dating sites should be very popular with Asians?

In other words, their website design and functions are very in line with Asian aesthetics. "

"maybe!"

Xia Jingxing said nonchalantly, "Because we haven't promoted it to the Asian group, there is no way to judge."

"They are ahead of you. Maybe Facebook will be pushed to Asia in the future, and there will be a lot of resistance."

Old John looked far away, thinking about what happened a few years later.

"Yes, it may cause some trouble for our international expansion."

Xia Jingxing went on to say, "But now if you turn your attention back to the dating network, they will face many challenges."

"for example?"

"If dating sites operate across borders and continents, this requires the site to be multilingual and to do so on the same global site and user experience.

This is not an easy task and requires a lot of effort.

If the dating network is distracted by this, then the domestic market in the United States may be in danger.

Without us playing, someone will naturally challenge its status. "

The website supports multiple languages. After more than ten years, it is basically standard for multinational Internet companies.

But right now, it's not too easy.

It would be easy for a portal news website to support multiple languages, after all, things are "dead", and there are a lot of user interaction behaviors on SNS websites, which is "live", and the difficulty is even higher.

Xia Jingxing let Facebook grow vulgarly, not because he was afraid of anyone, but because he was afraid that he would be hurt by taking too much steps.

Old John thought for a moment and said, "Maybe we can make a localized website for each country."

Xia Jingxing nodded, "This is indeed a solution, but a new problem has arisen? What about international friends?

A Filipino living in the United States must register two website accounts, one to chat with American friends and one to chat with relatives in his hometown in the Philippines.

And there are more than 200 countries in the world, more than 7,000 languages, and thousands of sub-stations for an international website?

Isn't that going back to the Huiduo era more than ten years ago? "

Old man John nodded, "You are right, to maintain influence and international friendship function, you really have to maintain a whole.

Even if the multilingual support function is difficult, it needs to be overcome. "

Xia Jingxing smiled, this is the blood and tears lesson learned by countless social giants in the past life: social networking sites do not need to be localized, they should be unified globally, although the political culture of each country is different, but through SNS is all for making friends, using the same system to cooperate with different language is sufficient.

"and also."

Old John was stunned, "Anything else?"

Xia Jingxing smiled, "The disadvantages or challenges are more than that."

"As the dating site has more and more Asian users, traffic to the site starts to climb every night in the United States.

At this time, it happened to be daytime in Asia.

Once the user base shifts to Asia, a company smaller than us will face both technical and management challenges.

In fact, it is not only them, but also those large companies that operate across borders. "

Old John laughed, "That's just your speculation, right? What if their user growth is still mainly in the United States?"

Xia Jingxing spread his hands, "Of course, this is just an assumption, it is very likely, it does not mean it will definitely happen.

What we should do more is to focus on the growth of our own users.

When the university market and high school market form an advantage, we will also step out of the United States. "

"Oh, where are you going to push it?"

"The Eye Covering Alliance! Oh, and adding an old Mo, they basically have no estrangement from the United States."
