"Sorry, Feng, the growth rate of Facebook registered users has slowed down a bit since this month," Mike took the initiative to start the meeting.

Sandberg couldn't help but look at Mike. His boss was indeed an engineer.

She believes that senior executives from business schools will never make such remarks in front of Feng Yiping under such circumstances.

Yes, judging from the daily increase in users, this month has slowed down compared to last month, but there are more achievements in other aspects, right?

Feng Yiping unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and took a big sip, looked at the data on his computer, "No, Mike, I don't think so,"

"Our current number of registered users has reached 70 million. In the face of such a base, there are a few days when the number of registered users has increased by 10% or 20% less than the same period or the previous day. I think this is not a problem, this is a normal fluctuation,"

"From this trend, we set a goal of over 100 million registered users by the end of the year, and will be achieved in advance by the third quarter at the latest, right?"

"From a regional perspective, our users have spread to more than 150 countries and regions around the world, covering more than 2,700 universities and more than 30,000 middle schools in the world... Overall, our results are unprecedented,"

"And you see, we have more than 40 million active users,"

Sandberg found it very interesting. Here, the identity of the boss and subordinates seemed to be reversed.

In most companies, subordinates should be the ones who show off their skills and bosses are picking on them. This is really the opposite.

She also understood why Feng Yiping handed over his most important project to Mike.

The executive who does not understand this way, or does not hide his shortcomings in his work in front of Feng Yiping, is the executive he most reassured.

Sandberg felt a little relaxed. She liked this atmosphere and liked such a company.

"However, this trend may also indicate that after more than a year of land grabbing, we should now calm down, consolidate and develop existing achievements, and develop more points on the map into areas,"

"Step by step, we successfully remove the intervals between these surfaces and then connect them into pieces."

“I hope that everyone will develop more action plans for this goal.”

"I think, in the next step, we should try to mobilize more national and regional dignitaries and become our registered users,"

This is what Feng Yiping has been doing since the beginning to make well-known people in the entertainment industry a registered user and attract more people to register their Facebook accounts.

This work has progressed very smoothly and has very good results. Now, he thinks that the politicians from all countries, which will also bring huge demonstration effects, should become their own registered users.

"This is a good direction. We can completely imagine how many civil servants there will be in that country when the head of state has our account, and they will pay attention to their situation," Sandberg said.

Feng Yiping nodded and asked another question, "How is the negotiation between Sandberg and Apple going?"

“It’s going well,” Sandberg said immediately. “It is expected that at the beginning of next month, we can complete your vision and promote it with Apple’s itunes.”

This is another plan proposed by Feng Yiping.

It means to convince Apple that users who join the Apple student group on Facebook can download 25 singles a week before the start of school in the fall. This is a promotion that is beneficial to both parties.

At the same time, this is even more a test.

From the beginning, his positioning of Facebook was not just a social networking website, but a social platform.

Promotion with Apple can not only bring benefits to Facebook, but also make other companies interested. Feng Yiping hopes that in the future, there will be more company applications that can run on his own Facebook platform.

This will naturally bring more users to Facebook and increase user activity.

"This is very good," Feng Yiping nodded.

"We are ready to talk to more companies next," Sandberg said.

"So Zach, in terms of technology, will there be problems?"

"With more engineers joining in China and India, we will ensure that in early September, the relevant research and development will be completed, which will completely ensure that more companies will join," Zach's voice came from the phone.

Building Facebook into a platform that is open to third parties is not a simple task, but because it has been preparing since the second half of last year, especially with the addition of a team of more than 3,000 people from China and India, it has become a not unsimple task - the human wave tactics have always been the Chinese's strengths and advantages, and Feng Yiping inherited these qualities.

“We have added apps that support music discovery and sharing,”

“We have completed the construction of websites in 13 languages, and in September, this number will become 19…,”

"Our notepad function has been in internal testing and will also be officially launched in September...."

The notepad he mentioned is actually a blog service that can add tags, insert pictures, and comments.

"In the next two months, we will add 5 new mini games..."

"The work in the R&D department is great, which is very good," Feng Yiping praised. "Where is the research and development of our advertising platform?"

"According to the current progress, it will be completed smoothly in the fourth quarter at the latest," Zuckerberg said affirmatively.

"Okay," Feng Yiping clenched his fist hard.

That is to then, Facebook will finally change the current situation that is mainly based on its own investment and will start to produce blood.

Moreover, Feng Yiping believes that after such a long time of preparation, Facebook's hematopoietic function will be very strong.

…………

"Feng," After the meeting, Sandberg called Feng Yiping.

Feng Yiping gestured, "Go down and have a walk?"

This is a bright and peaceful summer night. Although there are many windows in the park and the lights are still on, the downstairs of the park are no longer as hustle and bustle as daytime.

Feng Yiping held his hands and walked on the lawn of the park, "Are you worried about something?"

"Feng, that is, by the fourth quarter, we will officially compete with Google," Sandberg said.

"When you agree to join, you are ready like this, aren't you?" Feng Yiping asked.

He believes that when Sandberg decided to resign from Google to join Facebook, he had already figured out how to make Facebook profitable. That can only be online advertising, which is Google's current main source of revenue.

“Yes, just…,”

"I didn't expect it to come so quickly? And it seems that the competitiveness is very strong?" Feng Yiping was particularly relaxed.

"So you're worried that it will affect our relationship with Google?"

"Yes Feng, we all know that you are also a major shareholder of Google and have a very good relationship with Page Brin, so I want to say, are you...?"

"Let go and do it," Feng Yiping waved his hand. "We all know that this market is big enough, and we provide different services to our users, so don't worry, this will not have any negative impact on us,"

"You know, I'm going to propose to Google, and next on our website, the search box is embedded in Google,"

Given his future plans, Feng Yiping thinks that it is a very good decision to apply Google search on his website now.

"Really?" Sandberg was stunned.

She knew too much about what this meant.

Search is actually an important development direction for Facebook.

"What, do you think it's inappropriate?"

"Oh, no," Sandberg came to his senses in a daze. She looked around and couldn't help looking at Mountain View, which was Google, and asked in a low voice, "About us and Google, have you formed some consensus with Page and the others?"

"Can I think that in the future, we will cooperate with capital? Or," her voice became lower and a little trembling, "acquisition, or merger?"

She felt that only in this way could we explain why Feng Yiping was not worried about competition with Google, and Google did not explicitly take many measures to deal with Facebook.

"I wonder if I have to postpone this proposal," said Feng Yiping.

If Sandberg could draw such a guess from this point, then more people would think of this at that time.

"I just want to say that there are many possibilities in the future, but this is based on what we have to be strong,"

"I understand," Sandberg said immediately, "Don't worry, Feng," she lowered her head and thought for a while, "I will make sure that we can make a profit by the next year,"

"I believe in your ability," said Feng Yiping.

"Feng, and Google..." Sandberg couldn't help asking.

She usually doesn't get to the bottom of it, but this problem is really too big.

Feng Yiping smiled confidently and didn't say anything.
