Chapter 1138 without reservation

Regarding virtual currencies, some useful attempts have been made on NEXTDOOR, and they have achieved great results.

In the virtual mall, some items used to like friends and sell props used in mini games sometimes make Feng Yiping sigh that this money is really too easy.

Although the average selling price of those virtual products is not high, based on the number of users over 100 million and the number of active users increasingly approaching 100 million, even if each of their consumption is like a drop of water, it can eventually form a sea.

Facebook, no matter what, naturally cannot let this part go.

However, on NEXTDOOR, their term is a virtual mall, while Sandberg's term is a virtual currency.

I think the key points will definitely be different.

“Inspired by NEXTDOOR, we feel that we can choose to open some of our interfaces to third-party developers at the right time, such as game developers.”

“NEXTDOOR’s attempt has allowed us to see the potential of virtual goods sales brought by the game,” he said.

To be honest, for an academic economist like Sandberg, she had never imagined that the game that is so brainless like the Crypto Music on NEXTDOOR would be so popular.

Not only is it so popular, it can even bring such a large number of props sales.

"But the current model of NEXTDOOR has shortcomings, mainly because there are too few game varieties. If several popular games can be added, we believe that our related sales will be very large, so large that we can exceed our imagination,"

"So, we feel that our interface can be opened to other third parties. We believe that our huge user base will attract many powerful game developers to enter this field,"

“They can also sell related virtual goods, but they have to pay in our virtual currency, and we will collect a certain share of their total revenue,” he said.

"The proportion we have initially determined is 30% of Apple's iTunes,"

"Well, I think it's good," Feng Yiping said immediately.

In short, when it comes to charging, it should be fine to follow Apple. Apple's high profits have always been what he pursues.

"Okay, then we'll set it at 30%," Sandberg wrote it down immediately.

"Also, I think I have some small ideas about game development," said Feng Yiping.

"Really?" Sandberg was delighted.

What is higher than 30% of the profit is naturally 100%. If the most popular game on Facebook in the future is developed by the company itself, it would be really happy to think about it.

She knew that the most popular Crypto music on NEXTDOOR, the main idea came from Feng Yiping, "I think, engineers, I will definitely look forward to your little idea very much,"

"From my non-professional perspective, I think this idea may be good," Feng Yiping said with his head down.

The reason he lowered his head was because he felt a little guilty.

Out of a sense of aloofness and concern that many people are not understood by him, he has never been involved in the game field at home, but abroad, he does not need to have such concerns at all.

Although he had never played all those popular games, he must have heard of them at least. For example, for a while, it could be said that it had swept the whole people and even he followed the trend. He believed that games that could attract users of all ages and classes in China would definitely be very popular abroad.

"It seems we have to hold the next meeting as soon as possible," Sandberg said.

"Let Zuckerberg come back and make a special trip to this conference," Mike added.

"I can do it anytime," said Feng Yiping.

They acted so urgent that they would definitely not lose their links. Besides, they had played Happy Farm themselves.

"Feng, it's not that we are too urgent, but that we are in urgent need of such a product. Despite the successful experience of NEXTDOOR, our proposed virtual currency still needs extensive testing. We need to collect users' experience of using our virtual currency. We need to estimate the demand for our virtual currency...,"

"At the same time, I also believe that Facebook's successful, popular and huge profits will surely inspire powerful game developers to enter this field very intuitively and effectively."

"What I like most is that because it is a game we develop ourselves, the relevant income belongs to us 100%," Mike said with a smile.

Well, this is also what Feng Yiping said in his heart.

Of course, if possible, Sandberg also hopes that the top few popular games on the website will be produced by the company in the future.

“…After having relevant usage experience, we believe that our virtual currency has the following development directions. First, we can allow third-party websites to use our virtual currency for transactions.”

Sandberg said this in a grand manner!

The so-called "permit" should actually be said to be "agree".

But Feng Yiping likes this.

Think about it, if there are many websites that use virtual currencies developed by Facebook to trade, wouldn’t it be equivalent to having a mint factory or a virtual Federal Reserve?

That scene was so funny that I could wake up even if I thought about it.

“Other direction, we believe that in the future, we can add e-commerce-capable applications on our website, allowing anyone to create and operate retail stores on the website,” he said.

"The specific operations of these retail stores are the same as other e-commerce websites, including the e-commerce websites we currently operate in China..."

"This is social business," Feng Yiping blurted out.

"It can indeed be defined that way," Sandberg said.

Feng Yiping felt that he had really found the right person.

Because he has never used Facebook, he is not clear about many of Facebook's functions. The biggest advantage of being clear about these functions is that it can reversely launch a website's profitability method.

If Feng Yiping could imagine the strategy of advertising that Sandberg stated and was not beyond his expectations, then many of the strategies of virtual currency that she stated now were already something he did not consider.

In essence, he is not an all-rounder or a genius. This time, through his own hard work and improvement, through systematic learning from Tsinghua School of Economics and Management and Stanford Business School, he has become a high-quality talent in the traditional sense. Combined with his accurate grasp of the future, he has made him who is now a great success in the shopping mall.

However, his shortcomings are also obvious. For example, in which direction should we develop in when operating e-commerce in China and what are the key points? He knows, because he grew up with Taobao.

But for Facebook, he has never been exposed to websites like him. Because he has not had much connection with himself before, he has never studied websites even in his spare time. There are many places he may not have thought of.

This is why he must recruit Zuckerberg and Sandberg under his command.

"What's next? What else is next?" Feng Yiping urged.

His urging was naturally the greatest affirmation of Sandberg, "Next, what we plan to integrate the company's resources, including Netflix, and YouTube,"

“On our website, we deeply integrate film and television dramas and other media content, including music,”

When she said this, Sandberg glanced at Feng Yiping again.

Feng Yiping knew that her concerns were that Apple is now a big player in music sales, and that she had a special relationship with Apple, especially with Jobs. Speaking of which, Apple's music business is still making a lot of efforts.

"It's okay," he waved his hand.

Apple, that's different from Google.

Besides, Apple’s music sales are actually mainly based on their iPods.

Sandberg continued, "This can effectively increase the time users use our website, and effectively convert traffic into advertising and related revenue..."

This is another sense of the fact that the water does not flow from outsiders to the outside world. Hehe, Feng Yiping likes it very much.

"So, it seems that our virtual currency can first cooperate with Netflix," Feng Yiping said with a smile.

Netflix's monthly subscription packages are now available to allow users to purchase Facebook's virtual currency first and then use virtual currency to consume it.

Sandberg's eyes lit up, "Yes, this is a good idea,"

…………

While working, Wu Qian did not forget to pay attention to the ongoing meetings in the conference room, because this meeting, which seemed to be not over, has added a lot of extra work to her.

The meeting was only one and a half hours as planned, but it was almost 12 noon and it had been held for more than 3 hours, which forced her to reschedule Feng Yiping's next schedule and also explain to those who were waiting to meet Feng Yiping, including those representatives from the bank group.

Finally, as more and more colleagues went to the restaurant for dinner, Feng Yiping smiled and Sandberg and others walked out of the conference room.

It's over!

Wu Qian hurriedly greeted him, "Yiping, this is the adjusted schedule,"

Feng Yiping waved his hand again, "Adjust another,"

He looked at his watch, "I'm going to Google now, let's talk about other things when I'm back,"

He took out his cell phone and called Page, "Have you had lunch? That's right, you guys wait, I'll come over right away,"

"Hey, let the restaurant keep a portion of boiled fish for us,"

"What's wrong?" Feng Yiping, who was walking out while calling, turned around and looked at Wu Qian, "Aren't you coming?"

"Oh, OK," Wu Qian was just sighing at her previous work, and she wasted all her money. She was immediately happy and could meet two more celebrities.

…………

Mountain View, Google.

"Hey!" Page and Brin hugged Feng Yiping heavily, "You're here,"

"I have wanted to come here for a long time. How about it? Keep the dishes for me," Feng Yiping followed them to the restaurant with a smile.

Before sitting down and starting, he took a document from Wu Qian and threw it to them both without caring. "This is Facebook's business strategy, please help me see,"
